As any theatre kid does, I have a list of roles I would love to play. Some of them may be completely unattainable, but a girl can dream, can't she?

Will I ever get to play all of these characters? Probably not. I probably won't even be able to play half of them, whether the show isn't interesting or I just don't fit the character profile the director wants. But a girl can dream about the roles she wants, no matter how realistic. One day I hope to be able to play at least some of these characters.
